Procharger Blown 383
I have a sbc 383 with forged rods/pistons/crank. I am running alum heads with 10:1 with fairly large cam which helps to lower my DCR. Here are the specs on the cam:
Comp Cams hydraulic roller camshaft (540/562 lift, 242/248@50dur
Air gap manifold which I plan to either move to a victor jr, or fuel injection, edelbrock 800 AVS thunder series carb (which I will replace with a 750 holley if I don't go to EFI).
My question is this... I would like to run a D or F series procharger with 3 core intercooler and run about 12-14 psi. According to prochargers chart, they claim I can run upwards of 16psi. Procharger claims with my setup and an intercooler this would be completely possible and still run on pump gas. The car is a weekend warrior, so if it turned ot I had to run 100 octane no big deal, but I would like to run pump if possible. But my ultimate goal is 700-800hp. The motor makes about 440hp N/A. I know that if I slap on a roots 671 I should have a max of about 8.5:1. Can someone also explain why a cent s/c lets you run more boost with higher C/R than a roots? Thanks.
Calling out car models.. my brother and I made a game out of that. we could be walking down a street or riding along in the car with our parents and who ever could say the model name the fastest...
How did you get hooked on cars?
